A few Church Of Scotland congregations, mainly in the Western Isles, have regular Sunday services in Gaelic . There are Gaelic-speaking congregations of other denominations too, mainly in the Western Isles. These include the Roman Catholic Church, the Free Church of Scotland, the Free Church of Scotland (continuing), the Free Presbyterian Church of Scotland and the Associated Presbyterian Churches. The list below is of Church Of Scotland charges where it is desirable that the minister should be able to speak Gaelic. A few congregations are, however, deemed to be ‘Gaelic essential’. The number of congregations deemed ‘Gaelic desirable’ or ‘Gaelic essential’ has declined in recent decades. The Gaelic for ‘Church of Scotland’ is Eaglais na h-Alba. There is a shortage of ministers able to speak Gaelic. At Greyfriars Tolbooth & Highland Kirk in Edinburgh the services in Gaelic are now normally led by members of the congregation. However, Glasgow still has two weekly Gaelic services at St Columba's Church, Glasgow on St Vincent Street and Gardner Street Church of Scotland in Partick. Presbytery of Argyll
